Its hard to imagine a sorting scheme where you didn't have to
contextualize everything, or have a special markup associated with
the context. Do you *really* want to have to enter
1) the date (maybe nil)
2) the plan page
3) the context
for every task?  I put context into my plan pages; if you want to sort
by context, put the context into the name? (i.e."WorkSweepFloors",
"WorkInventColdFusion")  

If you want to hack the lisp, "edebug-defun" on
"jmk-get-planner-link"  and save your plan page.  "task-info" has a
string of the task in there.  You can probably just sort on that. But
my lisp skills are pretty inadequate too, so...

Cheers,  Jody
